Johnny Tang (b. 1985) is part of a trend of young photographers such as: Brook Shaden, Erik Johansson and Casane, using photoshop to create surreal images. While creating images in the tradition of the Surrealists photographers such as: Man Ray, Salvador Dali, Lee Miller and more recently Sandy Skoglund. Johnny’s style differs in that it is an east meets west brand of surrealism.

Somewhere between eye candy and mind candy is where the artist wants his work to live, and his process is all about finding that balance. While in science we use photography to better our understanding of our physical world. As an artist, Johnny is using photography to better understand our emotional and spiritual world.

 Johnny began his creative career as a break dancer, before going on to receive his BFA in photography from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Johnny’s recent exhibitions include: Any Shape or Form at Upstream Gallery, Counter Weight at Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Skeleton Crawl Pop-Up Gallery in East Williamsburg. When he is not being published by the likes of: Neocha, Daily Mail, VSCO, or Slant’d. Johnny also works commercially, having shot an international campaign for the likes of Red Bull BC One.

Jonathan Brooks says, "Infrared photography uses a specific portion of the light spectrum which is invisible to the naked eye. These Wavelengths used for photography of near-infrared light are in the 700-1200nm range and create dynamically striking images made up of vibrant false colors. I used a 590nm infrared filter on a camera that has been converted for infrared photography."

Jonathan Brooks' photographs have been published in numerous magazines, anthologies, and periodicals.

His Photos have been featured in major movies (Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates, and Uncle Drew), the Emmy nominated short film series celebrating the 50th anniversary of NEA- United States Of Art, and television shows (Oprah Network's David Makes Man, Bravo TV's reality show Southern Charm, The CW's The Vampire Diaries, and Germany’s Only Love Counts). His work has been exhibited in Miami, NYC, Amsterdam, France, Germany, Greece, Scotland, and the UK. This includes Art Basel, the Louvre, and the biggest billboard in Times Square.

Jon Wollenhaupt says, "The images in the Awakening series were created as a result of the prolonged isolation and persistent anxiety I experienced during COVID confinement. I rarely went out to shoot new images. My only outlet was to dive deep into my photographic archives and revisit the many images that didn’t quite fit into any of my established projects. The photomontage images in this series were created spontaneously and unconsciously by associating and merging disparate images that previously seemed to have no relationship to each other.

The resulting images in this series were created from found photos captured and candid portraits including advertisements, posters, murals, graffiti, landscapes, and urban street images. The result of these visual experiments portray subjects in various states of transformation, realization and awakening."

For more than 20 years I have been dedicated to photography and fine art printmaking. During this span of time, I provided photography services to corporations, not-for-profit organizations, and news and media outlets.

My street photography has been exhibited nationally in the United States and published internationally. I have a degree in Fine Art from Grossmont College and further studies in Studio Arts at San Francisco State University.

Other current work includes a series called Awakening, which is a series of photomontage works that involve the overlaying of disparate images that reflect the workings of the unconscious mind and amorphous embedded memories. I also experiment extensively with alternative printing processes such as platinum palladium and cyanotype.

Kevin Lyle says, " As long as I can remember, I've been curious about incidental objects and environments and their potential for a sort of  extraordinary/ordinary beauty. 

I find this quality in the work of photographer Eugene Atget, composer Erik Satie and singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie. These great artists are a constant source of inspiration. My process is fueled by an innate hunter/gatherer impulse.

Most of my images are collected within walking distance of my home on Chicago's north side. Contemplative wandering in the urban analog world, away from the preponderance of drama delivered digitally via television and the Internet, reveals evidence of real life- evidence of what may be may have happened or may yet occur. Sometimes mundane, sometimes oblique, askew or atypical. Mostly overlooked, until documented."

Kimberly Schneider says, "All of my photographs are essentially subconscious self-portraits (or natural equivalents); the more I print, the more I start to see the part of me that was unconsciously exposed, and that revelation is largely what my work is about. [That applies to both my film-based, as well as my cameraless, work. However, in the case of my photograms, titles are based on what I see in the images, orientation is never final until the titles come to me].

I began making photograms (sans enlarger) in June 2020, due to having an unfinished darkroom at the time of the shutdown. Over the past 3 years, I have not only refined my self-invented techniques with sand, ice, flowers, glitter, and more, as well as created 6 new bodies of work (including the first 5 images of my "Winds of Change" series) and several new processes, but also teach, and have received quite a few awards for my covid-born alternative process work. [My primary light sources are sparklers, candles, and a firework LED that I actually rig for contrast more often than not]. 

In late November ('21) I began refining my (early) processes with sand, via my ongoing "Metamorphosis" series (which commenced in early 2021). "Wicked (In Mourning)" was one of my first mixed process quadruple exposures (exposed with either a sparkler or a firework LED, or possibly both, I can't quite recall) that resulted.

In February 2022, it snowed briefly in New York; I happened to get the idea to grab some, to test out for photograms, during the last snowfall of the season. My snow photograms led to yet another series, the following month (and happened to place Honorable Mention in the Julia Margaret Cameron Awards a few months later). 

 "Fire & Ice" began as a full series of its own; this ongoing (16x20) photogram series has since morphed into a mother series, with two 11x14 bodies of work as children thus far ("The Many Rings of Saturn" in 2022 and & the newest sub-series, "Winds of Change" - which just commenced a few weeks ago); this was my first body of work to incorporate fire and ice - in the making of each unique print. As the work grew, I was inspired to print on smaller paper as I began to design and refine a number of new processes with ice, among other materials.

 "The Many Rings of Saturn" commenced with 4 (11x14) demo prints I made while working with a private Zoom student, who needed a little help getting out of her head; The title of the series actually came to me at the end of that session and I was grateful when Frames Magazine reached out and offered to essentially pay me to complete it, via a (paid) artist residency, that I would literally shoot live – in my darkroom, via Zoom; My A.I.R. began in August and before the residency was over, I debuted the entire series via the magazine. 

Coincidentally, "Winds of Change" also began as the result of work I did with a private Zoom student, in November. While the titles and orientation just came to me in January of this year, she was my first lecture-and-demo style photograms student and wanted to see just how far she could take photograms, if she were to set up a diy darkroom, in her home. I started with frozen spinach-ice (which I actually forgot about until right now), as it was leftover in my freezer, from the late portion of "The Many Rings of Saturn," before incorporating sand, flowers, and glitter; the first 5 prints of the series were made during that session.

Yet, it wasn’t until after they were scanned, that I started playing around with image rotation, and the titles started to come to me... It is too new in the series to get into the meat of what it’s really about, beneath the surface, but the first poems of the series started to pour out of me last week -  and they haven’t stopped yet [I anticipate eventually showing the images, along with some of the poems, as the work grows...]. However, Scott Nichols (of Scott Nichols Gallery) opted to bring three of the first 5 photograms of the series [including "Haunted (aka Owl's Eye View)"] with him to Photo Forward Los Angeles (February 18th & 19th); they are currently available for purchase at his gallery, in Sonoma, California."

Kimberly Schneider is a Visual Artist, Educator, and Master Printer who has been dedicated to the art of handmade (darkroom) print for the past 20+ years. Specializing in true infrared film, spiritual landscapes, and experimental photograms, she holds a BFA in photography (and a minor in philosophy) from Colorado State University; While both are deeply intertwined, she identifies as a Printer more than anything else.

Her current occupation was actually a silver lining of covid, as she not only teaches at ICP (and Penumbra Foundation), as well as privately, but also happens to have a darkroom in her apartment, where she teaches remotely, as well as prints for other artists/enthusiasts.

Kimberly exhibits her personal work regularly and has received several awards for her covid-born photograms.

Her silver gelatin prints have been exhibited domestically at Scott Nichols Gallery, Photo Forward Los Angeles, The Camera Obscura Gallery, San Diego Art Institute, Lightbox Photographic Gallery, Stonehenge Gallery, Art Intersection, ZIA Gallery, Photo Méthode Gallery, among other art galleries; On the international front, Kimberly exhibited a selection of award-winning work in the 6th and 7th Biennial(s) of Fine Art & Documentary Photography, at FotoNostrum Gallery (in Barcelona). She has also shown in Ireland, as well as virtually at The Louvre.

She is thrilled to have work in Center for Photographic Art’s upcoming (online) exhibition and catalog - and honored that her photogram, “Multiple Fractures,” was one of only 45 images selected for the show (out of nearly 2,200!), by guest juror, Hamidah Glasgow. [The opening reception and award ceremony will take place at CPA (in Carmel, California) on April 1st.]

She also looks forward to teaching her first photogram workshops in Miami, Florida, this summer (and is currently awaiting her New York summer course schedule from ICP and elsewhere).

[Recent awards include Honorable Mention in the 18th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards, Runner Up (to the Series Winner) in the 17th JMCAs, 3rd Place in the 16th JMCAs, Honorable Mention via the (16th) Pollux Awards, and Honorary Spider Fellow (Nominee) via the Black and White Spider Awards.]
